Our EvoWeaver work is now included on the Computational and Theoretical Biology focus page of Nature Communications! The page highlights recent work that reports methodological advances in computational biology. www.nature.com/collections/...

Proud to announce a new publication from the lab: EvoWeaver: large-scale prediction of gene functional associations from coevolutionary signals
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪🧬🖥️ new paper: Tandem Repeats Provide Evidence for Convergent Evolution to Similar Protein Structures (doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...). You can also see the video explainer here: wrightlabscience.com/publications

Nishant just came back from the EMSL at PNNL! wrightlabscience.com/news#oct2024

One of our recently published articles has gotten traction in the popular press: www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/sci...

New Paper Alert! VRSA can overcome the cost of antibiotic resistance and may threaten vancomycin's clinical durability, from our Master's student (and his second paper published this month!). www.wrightlabscience.com/publications

One of the M.S. students got 2 papers accepted within days of each other! Here is one of them about #MachineLearning, #ElectronicHealthRecord Data, and #AntibioticResistance. #Bioinformatics has such a great place in our evolving healthcare landscape. 🧪 🧬🖥️

We are at #ISMB2024! Come say hi! (I'm probably the tallest person at the conference)

Updates to DECIPHER! It's now DECIPHERv3, with some cool updates! See wrightlabscience.com/news #bioinformatics #bioconductor #Genomics #biotechnology #R

One of the lab members was awarded funding to enhance and maintain #R #Biostrings. We're looking forward to seeing what he can do for the #bioinformatics community.

Cool new paper released from the lab: Many purported pseudogenes in bacterial genomes are bona fide genes! wrightlabscience.com/publications

Hi All: We're looking for Post-Docs for our soggy lab for September. You don't have to already be a bioinformatician, as we are willing to train. We're especially interested in solving antibiotic resistance. Pls reach out w/ questions and share. We'd love to fill this position (we have 2). 🧪🖥️🧬

GLBio24 is in Pittsburgh this year! Submissions are open! Submit to our "Big Biological Data" Special Session! 🧪

Now that Spotify Wrapped has wrapped. Let's check out the Wright Lab Year In Review! 🧪

Turns out that popular AI suggests us not once, but 3 times for the same query on sequence alignments. www.wrightlabscience.com/index.html

We're the Wright Lab at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. We do evolution of antibiotic resistance in a 'soggy' (both dry and wet lab work) lab. Our under-construction website: www.wrightlabscience.com/p/index.html. We also have available T15 funding!

Our department is recruiting PhD students for the 2024 cohort! Come work with us in biomedical informatics. Our lab works on solutions to antibiotic resistance using computational methods. 🧪🧫🩺

Hi! can we be added to the what's science feed/bioinformatics? @danirabaiotti.bsky.social (Also, thanks for curating!) 🧪. 🖥️ 🧬

Are you an undergrad looking for a grad program in the bioinformatics space? Are you interested in new, evolving problems in antibiotic resistance? We have funding. Come work with us! 🧪
